WHAT HAVE THEY DONE

Between selling Dotas and gifting people, I have finally burned all of the crap out of my inventory.

It feels good.

Seriously. I know they're marketing to ruin lives when they develop things like the ability to flaunt your "Steam Level", which is literally achieved by playing more games and wasting away your life on Steam.

ArcSyn

WHAT.

I don't even....

Peewi

I hope the cards based on game time is retroactive, so I'll start with all the TF2 and Dota ones.

Man, this does not bode well for achievement whoring.

In case this was missed, the latest Groupees Be Mine Bundle (here) is an amazing value. Blood Bowl Legendary, Drakensang, Fairy Bloom Fresia and Patrician IV + Expansion.

I've been saying for years that Fantasy: Total war, or Mythology: Total War would be soooooo right up my alley.

@Dissociater

You should try one of the King Arthur games. Which while they're not perfect are pretty close to Fantasy: Total War.

If you want to take Goumie's advice I have a Steam key for King Arthur 2 that you can have.

Also, I am simultaneously excited for and dreading trading cards.

DoctorArch

That trading card beta gives me a good reason to finally play through HL2 again.

Anybody who wants access to the Trading Card Beta? Got three invites.

I would greatly enjoy one of those. In order to preserve the intended order of future events and thusly not destroy the space-time continuum.

I joined the group but didnt get invited

EDIT: Apparently theyre processed in the order received so woo I guess.

Kanden

Anyone have any extra invites? I'd love one.

APODionysus

We do need a Comic Edit for this trading card business in here Stat!

I'm trying to decide if the WOW TCG one or the Minecraft "I'm in real trouble here" one is more suitable.

Drovek

This will be the doom of civilization as we know it: wars will be waged to obtain more and more badges, including the more elusive ones given for winning a world war.

It won't be a game anymore.

And I fear... that it never has been.

Oh man, I want access to that Beta.

Not meta enough. I want a game where we trade actual steam accounts, where the account is given an aggregate value based upon it's (total games owned * hours played) / (# of steam friends + gifts given).

Ed Gruberman

Congratulations go out to @Mr. Mojo Risin for winning this.



I've PM'd you the key. Enjoy conquering the world!

Krummith

We put a trading card game in your game delivery system, so you can play a game while you play a game.

A follow-up to my earlier System Shock 2 enquiry.

I attempted this to upscale the UI as it was way too tiny to read comfortably at 1366x768, but neither options have changed a thing. Has anyone used these successfully? Any other tips?

@TeeMan it worked for me using the first method

Open cam_ext.cfg in notepad or any other text editor.
Uncomment the line ;d3d_disp_scaled_2d_overlay 64 by removing the semicolon.

in case it makes any difference I have these mods installed, when I loaded my game with the bigger UI the resolution had changed but I just had to change it back to 1920x1080 and everything was fine

I'm also going to have a go at this that I saw on reddit

I also enabled bloom by opening the file cam_ext.cfg in the main game folder. Find these lines and remove the semicolon in front of each line: ;postprocess 1 ;bloomscale 5 ;bloom_threshold 0.7 I also changed the bloomscale value to 4 and bloom_threshold to 0.85. You can turn on triple buffering in that file as well to reduce mouse lag

which should make it look like this all going well

Todesbart

This is a very emotional post for me, so please read it with great care:

@Kanden took all of my ten remaining DotA 2 invites and asked nothing for it. Please take your time to honor this great man & shower him with gifts, gold and women!

Your equation is flawed. It punishes Classiness. Out of the thread! Out!

Have three beta invites for whoever wants them.

Houn

HA HA HA! Thanks for the beta invite, @Todesbart...

Now, who wants one of these three Beta Invites the Newell hath bequeathed unto me at the exact same time?

*edit* I'm trying to decline your beta invite, Todesbart, but it's erroring. I may be forced to accept it into my inventory and hand it out again.

It's okay.

you filthy thief

Albino Bunny

I'll take the beta invite if anyone wants to pass one on. May as well take a look at the shiney.

Incindium

FYI you can buy/sell beta invites in the Marketplace now. Trying to sell one of mine to complete a task for a badge.

Edit: Woo I made $.03

Kanden

@Todesbart is a king among men for giving me an invite to the beta.

pricer

OK, inventory cleaning-time - I have:
3 steam trading card things (I'm assuming i have my own access by default - literally just got it)
75% coupon Shogun 2
"23" DOTA2 invites
Poker Night
Audiosurf
Bit.Trip Beat

i'm going to make myself dinner, but will be back later on (Coursera final exam day) but shall we say - first come - first serve. PM me though, so i can dole stuff out quicker. I'll also limit DOTA invites to 5-per person, just to make it fairer (though i'm assuming most steam users have an invite by now - or have they evolved into a form of currency?)

And with that said - I have a key for Blood Bowl Legendary if any one wants it just send me a PM or message me on Steam.
